Hey, just because we don't brag about each convert or satisfied customer that now has a FreeBSD box, doesn't mean we aren't out there promoting FreeBSD. I've got a number of significant local area wins over the last four to five years. I'm not saying that more couldn't be done. Just that what is being done is somewhat underrpresented/understated.... sounds like *BSD advocacy in general... I guess we could develop some ascii art tokens to represent how many kill each of us has and tack them onto our sigs like fighter pilots and their planes. ;-) cheers, Adrian -- [ adrian@ubergeeks.com -- Ubergeeks Consulting -- http://www.ubergeeks.com/ ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
